Compulsive Hoarding

We are in the midst of discussing psychological disorders in Psychology class.  One disorder we recently discussed was Compulsive Hoarding.  This disorder is a specific type of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, which is an Anxiety Disorder. 

People suffering from Compulsive Hoarding have an intense desire to keep everything, despite its lack of value.  In addition to learning about the disorder, students also watched an episode of Hoarders from A&E TV.  There are several episodes available at their website.
